K6-270 Aurora, Colorado 80016 USA +1 (303) 952.5018 +1 (303) 474.3104 www.pyrolance.com
Performance Capabilities The firefighting system shall be tested and proven to be highly effective in the following scenarios: Wildland, grass, and brush fire applications Automobile and truck fires Limited structural fires Confined or concealed space fires Limited industrial fires Shipboard and marine firefighting Military firefighting applications Container fires BASE FRAME MOUNTING The firefighting system shall be mounted in a frame assembly. The mounting assembly shall be powder coated and shall be designed to contain the specified major components of the system. ULTRA HIGH PRESSURE FIRE PUMP SPECIFICATIONS The firefighting system shall be equipped with a heavy duty ultra high pressure three plunger type positive displacement fire pump. The pump shall be driven as specified under the drive system section of these specifications. The pump shall have the following features: Pump rating: 20 GPM @ 2,200 PSI (80 LPM @ 150 bar) Operational rating: 20 GPM @ 1,450 PSI (80 LPM @ 100 bar) Solid Keyed Shaft Brass Manifold Stainless Steel Check Valve Stainless Steel Plunger Guides Bronze Connecting Rods Tapered Roller Bearings Solid Ceramic Plungers Heavy Duty Flat Base High Pressure Seals Heat Treated Crankshaft. REXROTH HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS Once the PTO is activated on the pump control panel via the master PTO switch the variable speed hydraulic drive motor is controlled via an pressure compensating flow control switch which will activate when water flow in the fire pump circuit is sensed and allow the variable speed hydraulic drive pump to spool up to maximum flow regardless of engine RPM. Once the flow condition in the water circuit is stopped it will send a return signal via the pressure sensor flow control switch which in turn will put the pump into standby mode that will allow the pump to flow 1 GPM @2400PSI until the situation is reversed. As soon as the demand on the fire pump is replaced the hydraulic drive motor will spool up and pump 28GPM@2400PSI regardless of engine RMP. 2
Once the PyroLance PTO system is engaged and master/emergency stop switch is activated on the PyroLance control panel the system is active until either the PTO is disengaged or the E-Stop button is depressed. The system shall: a.) Reduce engine RPM when the pump is in by-pass resulting in reduced engine wear. b.) Prolong pump life by reducing potential heat build-up while the pump is in by-pass. c.) Reduce fuel consumption because the engine is not continually running at full RPM. d.) Allow the PyroLance system to be shut down in case of emergency by activating the Master/Emergency stop switch. e.) Allow rapid on/off throttle response eliminating pressure control delays when the PyroLance system is in operation. Hydraulic drive pump flow requirement shall be 28GPM@2400PSI and consist of the following: Hydraulic Pump Hydraulic Motor 40 gallon (152 L) Hydraulic Reservoir Hydraulic Cooler Thermostat PTO (Supplied by OEM0 The system shall be capable of delivering full rated output at 925 engine rpm. The system shall be compatible with a PTO with the following specifications: 1.3 step up ratio. 1.25 14 Tooth Splined Shaft Left Hand Rotation 2 Bolt C Mount INSTRUCTIONS AND LABELING A fire fighting pump instruction nameplate and necessary warning labels shall be installed on the assembly (English language). PANEL LIGHT The pump control panel shall be provided with an LED 12 volt light with switch. PUMP CONTROL PANEL The control panel shall be ergonomically designed and operator friendly. The panel shall be labeled and installed to be easily visible from the operator s position.
